Hear your text read aloud
Reading your own writing silently hides mistakes — your eye fills in words that aren't there. Hearing it spoken catches clumsy phrasing, missing words, and run-on sentences. Text to speech is also a genuine accessibility aid and a hands-free way to get through a long document. This tool uses the voices already built into your device, so nothing needs to be installed.
How to use it
- Paste the text you want spoken.
- Pick a voice and adjust the speed and pitch to taste.
- Press play, and pause or restart whenever you like.
Where it helps
- Proofreading by ear before you publish or send.
- Listening to an article while your hands or eyes are busy.
- Practising pronunciation or pacing for a talk.
Questions people ask
Why do the available voices differ between devices? The voices come from your operating system and browser, so a phone, Mac, and Windows PC each offer their own set.
Is my text sent to a server? No. It uses your device's built-in speech engine, so the words stay on your machine.
